What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Assessing faculty research productivity through scientometric analysis is crucial for academic institutions to promote and enhance research activities. Scientometric analysis guides institutional goals, identifies gaps and faculty contributions, and influences career development in academia. With advancements in the clinical pharmacy and practice field and Qatar's evolving research infrastructure, this study aimed to evaluate the research productivity and quality indicators of a clinical pharmacy and practice department at Qatar University through scientometric analysis. Methods: Research articles published between 2012 and 2024 were retrieved using Web of Science (WoS) via InCites, Scopus via SciVal, and Google Scholar. Metrics analysed included total publications, journal impact factor, Q ranking, subject area coverage, and collaborations. Results: Thirty-one faculty members produced 1,266 articles indexed in WoS, 1,270 in Scopus, and 1,737 in Google Scholar. The average annual publication rate was 5 articles per faculty member, resulting to an average of 41 publications per faculty member over their tenure. Active publication years accounted for 85% of faculty tenures. Furthermore, research output and productivity increased steadily, with the highest publication output observed between 2021 and 2023. Most publications appeared in journals with Q1 or Q2 rankings, with the Conclusion: This scientometric analysis highlights the research contributions and growth trajectory of clinical pharmacy and practice faculty, emphasising quality and opportunities for future advancements. The findings provide a benchmark for regional and global trends in clinical pharmacy research and offer actionable insights for researchers, academic institutions, and policymakers.
